Hey guys and gals,
I gave my throttle body the boogie treatment this weekend. I am not a
motor head, but I have always wanted to be. After reading countless
stories I just said what the heck.
Now, I don't have like a ton of neat tools. I just took that thing
off. I ported it. I didn't stop there. I put a carbide grinding bit
in Dad's drill. I ground off all the flanges, ridges??, and sanded the
surface. I burnt up the drill. It was on for like 2 hours straight. I
didn't use a hacksaw because some of y'all said you left knicks in the
tb. I only dipped with the grinder in one spot. I bought a buffing set
at Sears and buffed. It shines like a mirror, except I can still see
some grooves made by my sandpaper and some of the file marks. It isn't
a professional job, but it was my best job. I would have never done if
it wasn't for this list. Thanks guys.
Now I wait for my JBA's and JET. Any suggestions for my catback???
Also any suggestions for my braking system?? The stock system has
failed me twice when I needed to stop fast. No I didn't hit anyone, but
within inches :)>
Y'all are great,
Doug
